CREsted (Cis-Regulatory Element Sequence Training, Explanation and Design): a deep learning package for training enhancer models on single-cell ATAC sequencing (scATAC-seq) data

Output Details

CREsted provides comprehensive analyses and tutorials to study enhancer codes and design synthetic enhancer sequences at cell type-specific, nucleotide-level resolution. CREsted is integrated in the scverse framework and is compatible with outcomes from established scATAC-seq processing tools. It employs novel scATAC-seq preprocessing techniques, such as peak height normalization across cell types, offers flexibility and variety in deep learning modeling architectures and tasks, and contains thorough analysis of cell type-specific enhancer codes captured during modeling that can also be used for the design of synthetic sequences.
